Hope that the Genealogy forum will be the best place for this... if not, not sure?
Okay so, this one has puzzled me for a long time. My maternal GG Grandfather supposedly was born in "Uttehborn", Germany. Okay, whatever. I never questioned this, but one day decided to figure out exactly where it is, and it doesn't seem to exist. I've looked all over and consulted others and can't figure this one out.
It has to be a misspelling I guess? He came over around the 1870's and the info I have about his origins is just what has been passed down through family. I don't have any sort of official documentation so who knows how to figure out where exactly in Germany he came from?
